Leeds United's young centre-back Woodgate is almost crying now.
Since his debut, Woodgate has been absolutely recognized by everyone in the British football world. The British football world believes that Woodgate and West Ham United's Ferdinand are the best candidates for the future main center backs of the England national team. They are the most important players in the English football world.
Two of the best young centre-backs of recent years.
Woodgate is a very typical English defender.
He has good judgment and heading ability. He has strong frontal defense ability.
Since his debut, countless forwards in English football have fallen into his hands. How many outstanding centers have failed in front of them.
But today he felt very uncomfortable.
O'Reilly arranged for Woodgate to guard Quinn. Because Radebe was only 1.88 meters tall and already very old, it was difficult to guard Quinn, so he arranged for Woodgate to guard Quinn.
Woodgate is 19 years old this year, and Quinn is already 33 years old. There is a 14-year age difference between the two. They are completely players from two eras.
Generally speaking, by the age of thirty-three, a forward's explosive power will decline significantly. There are many defenders who remain at their peak at the age of thirty-three, but it is very rare for a forward to be able to dominate football at the age of thirty-three.
Quinn is obviously one of the few old monsters.
He becomes more and more demonic as he gets older.
As he gets more and more experience, no one can match him in his judgment of high-altitude balls. However, his jumping ability and heading ability have not declined at all, but are getting better and better.
People like Adams and Desailly used their rich experience and judgment to interfere with Quinn's header even if they couldn't beat him.
But Woodgate is too young.
He may be physically better than veterans like Adams and Desailly, but in terms of experience he is a complete kid.
Too immature compared to Quinn.
Every time he tried to grab a header, he couldn't beat Quinn.
And whether Woodgate is as smart as Adams, Desailly and others. Even if they can't get the ball, they will interfere with Quinn, making Quinn's header less accurate. Unfortunately, after Woodgate failed several times to compete for the header, he almost
It's despair.
Quinn is too strong.
So it seems to Woodgate.
Woodgate believed it was impossible for him to guard Quinn alone.
O'Reilly found out too.
So O'Reilly asked David Batty and McPhail to drop back to protect the back line. Unfortunately, both David Batty and McPhail are very short players and have no impact on Quinn at all. In the current Leeds United midfielder
Among the players, only Woodgate is 1.88 meters tall.
Radebe is already very tall at 1.85 meters.
Both David Batty and MacPhail are less than 1.8 meters tall. MacPhail is only 1.7 meters tall.
Quinn is a tower in the frontcourt.
In the competition for high-altitude balls, all Leeds United players were at a disadvantage. No one could defend them.
"Jack, Jack! Come forward, come forward!"
After Su Yun watched for a while, he threw Williams directly into the Leeds United penalty area.
"Williams is really an all-round player. In my impression, Williams has played as a right midfielder, a central midfielder, a defensive midfielder, and a defender. Now coach Su Yun has directly put Williams into the Leeds United squad.
In the penalty area. This is to use Williams as a center."
Martin Taylor was surprised by Su Yun's choice.
Su Yun really wants to use Williams as a center.
Because after nearly fifteen minutes, Su Yun discovered that Leeds United's back line had poor air defense. Even if David Batty and McPhail retreated, it was the same. Their air defense ability was almost scum.
Since Quinn alone can disrupt Leeds United's defense.
Then Su Yun will put Williams on and see how Leeds United defends.
Williams' aerial ball ability is not inferior to Quinn's.
When Williams was still at Dagenham, he played against Quinn. Williams was a bit immature at the time, so he was suppressed by Quinn. But after these years of training, especially the two games at Sunderland
Williams has grown a lot this season.
Williams' current high-altitude ball control ability is no worse than Quinn's.
There may not be Quinn's header passing ability, but in terms of judgment and control of high-altitude balls, Williams is not afraid of Quinn. Even during training, the probability of Quinn and Williams grabbing high-altitude balls is
Half and half.
We can know Williams' current heading ability.
After Williams came on, Sunderland's style of play became simpler.
After getting the ball, he directly raised the ball and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Even the playing style of Duff and Boboski on the wings is very simple. After they get the ball, they pass the ball quickly.
It was such a simple style of play, but it made Leeds United's defense very busy.
Leeds United did not expect that Sunderland, who had been focusing on playing on the two wings this season, would now start to play such a primitive style of play.
Neither O'Reilly nor the Leeds United players were prepared in any way.
Sunderland are getting better and better as they play.
Quinn likes this style of play the most.
Although he also likes to play on the wing because it can take advantage of his header, but now this style of play can maximize his strength.
O'Reilly walked up and down the sidelines.
Regarding Sunderland's sudden change of playing style, he has not yet found the most suitable method.
In fact, there are many teams in the Premier League that play this primitive style.
Almost the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League play this way. But they don’t have perverted players like Quinn and Williams. Woodgate is not at all inferior to those players, and the sophisticated Radebe cooperates with Woodgate.
I'm not afraid of them at all. But now facing Quinn and Williams, it's going to be difficult for the defense.
It was already very difficult for Woodgate to defend Quinn. Not to mention the addition of a perverted player like Williams.
Thirty-three minutes into the game, Leeds United's defense was already exhausted.
They dare not relax at all.
Another round of attack.
Southgate made a long pass directly from the backcourt to the area near the penalty area.
"Southgate...Williams...Williams pushed the ball into the penalty area!"
Defending Williams are David Batty and McPhail. The two are flanking Williams, but unfortunately their height gap is too big with Williams. And when it comes to jumping ability, the entire British football world, and even the entire European
No one in football can surpass Williams.
Williams easily jumped high and headed the ball into the penalty area.
"Quinn...it's Quinn. Header!"
When Williams' header passed into the penalty area, Quinn quickly judged the path of the ball.
Although he is thirty-three years old.
But more agile than Woodgate.
It should be said that Quinn is more experienced than Woodgate in judging high-altitude balls. After Quinn pulled out, he did not shoot with a header. In this position, it is difficult to shoot a header from this angle. Even for a strong header like Quinn
The same is true.
He didn't shoot, nor did he pass to Phillips in front.
It doesn't penetrate inside, but passes straight to the other parallel side.
It was passed very lightly.
But there is a tacit understanding.
Because in the path of his passing, Williams, who had just passed the header to Quinn, ran in.
Quinn's header is high and slow.
Therefore Radebe also discovered Quinn's purpose.
So he gave up on Phillips and quickly came out to defend Williams.
"Williams...Radebe has already taken his position."
Radebe did reach the position faster than Williams. But Williams didn't care about that. He had already started to take off from a position two meters away, leaping high to face the football and directly swing his head towards the goal.
At the same time, Radebe jumped up and prepared to make a rescue.
But he was still a step slower.
Although Williams was a step late, he jumped higher and faster than him, and touched the ball first in front of him.
The moment they touched the ball, the two people collided heavily in the air.
"Williams...wow, he jumps so high...and throws his head towards the goal!"
"goooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Martin Taylor shouted in surprise: "Williams, Williams! It was an alley-oop, and Williams came in from behind and made a powerful header. It was wonderful. It was like a shot with his feet."
It’s the same, fast and powerful.”
Martin Taylor was surprised.
Radebe, who was knocked down by Williams, also looked on in surprise.
He had just been hit by Williams in the air and flew out directly. He had not felt this kind of power for a long time.
When Quinn saw the goal, he ran over and hugged Williams.
Williams rarely talks and doesn't like to communicate with others. Therefore, many young players have a normal relationship with him. Even Kilbani, who has been a teammate of Williams for a long time, has a normal relationship with Williams. But Quinn
Such veteran players are different.
Looking at a talented young player like Williams, he still likes him even though it is difficult to communicate with him.
"One to zero, one to zero. Thirty-four minutes into the first half. Sunderland led Leeds United one to zero with Williams' goal."
"I don't know what words to use to praise Williams. Throw Williams behind, and few people can break through his defense. Put him in the midfield. He can pass the ball to organize the offense, and can also attack from behind.
The shot he inserted in. Putting him in the forward position can also complete the task well."
"I haven't seen such a complete player in many years. There's nothing he can't do."
Yes, there is something it cannot do.
This is just the beginning.
Williams quickly told Leeds United how cruel the reality was. At the end of the first half, Boboski's cross from a 45-degree angle was met by Williams' domineering head-swing, which led to the score.
It was as big as two to zero.
"Two to zero, Sunderland is already leading Leeds United two to zero before the first half is over. With four consecutive wins, Sunderland will complete its fourth consecutive victory. Is Sunderland really going to win the Premier League title?
